Hollow Flux Of Fate

We shall embrace the hollow flux of fate
to scribe clever proverbs on cement walls
which reckons conduct of the lawless gang
who gamble perverse notions of despair
in fraught rebellion of the lonely fool
through vain contest against the faceless bank.

Through endless rain on buildings of state power
walks grim Aquarius with blazing eyes
who bears witch hazel wand of psychic flare
to face Narcissus in the mirrored hall
where they hurl flashing strikes of energy
in clash for who will wield the key of wealth.

His vision blurring in the leaden sky
where twisted creatures from the sunless sea
scuttle across barren angst of his heart,
Narcissus shouts with ferocious disgust
at thousands of angels in business suits
who tremble in mute horror at his rage.

Translucent bones of his delicate soul,
cleansed of sorrow in pool of bitter snow,
Aquarius reaches both hands to the sky
to gesture with kinetic sleight of thought
which channels straight somatic bolt of light
to shatter illusion of psychic power.

Encircling spiral swirls of fetid fog,
congealed in roughened pungency of fear,
Narcissus strikes back with aggressive growl
at crumbling shudder rage contrives to fake,
then howls in shock as all his evil plans
to crown himself global king dissipate.

Shocked by intense desire to live with faith,
Aquarius radiates conceptual soul
on crystal wings of ringing chandeliers
to render wholesome solitude expired
with calm reptilian honesty of pride,
then strikes the fatal blow of history.

Triumphant over gang of growling thieves,
who flee the crumbling walls of social wealth,
Aquarius declares great victory
of honest people fighting for their rights
against the faceless oligarchs of wealth
who wail as their fake dollars dissipate.

Though weight of wisdom in our hollow hearts
bears imperceptible whorl of false dreams,
we utter spells of horror all alone
in doorless rooms where no photographs hang
framed by world view we accepted as real,
so we embrace the hollow flux of fate.

Orpheus arrests Narcissus to prevent his theft of the national treasury, and tries him as traitor to Zarathia.
